C::B 10.5 with wxWidgets 2.9.2 ... possible??
« on: November 01, 2011, 11:59:15 pm »
A bit of a newbie question I'm afraid - but a forum search didn't really tell be what I needed.

I've been running 10.5 + wxSmith + 2.8.10 under XP+SP3+UDs for a while, and love it!
I have recently upgraded wxWidgets to 2.8.12 without a problem (so far!)

However, I really need to go to wxWidgets 2.9.x (preferably 2.9.2).

Will C::B 10.5 work with wxWidgets 2.9 without a recompile or do I need to wait for the next version of 10.5 ??

I'd try the nightly build but I find the idea of building it a bit daunting :-(

TIA and best regards,
Dave

Why do you want to upgrade the wx lib C::B is using?
But you can use wx2.9.2 in you project without much problem,
I guess there will be some problems with wxSmith.
(most of the time I ignore long posts)
[strangers don't send me private messages, I'll ignore them; post a topic in the forum, but first read the rules!]

There are some new member functions in 2.9.x that would make life easier for me.

I guessed that wxSmith may be a problem ... shame.

Thanks for the prompt reply,

I have used wxSmith for projects compiled with wxWidgets 2.9.1. It works without any problems.
The only times you may encounter problems are:
    1 - there is a change in API between wxWidgets 2.8.12 and 2.9.1 (example: wxGLCanvas constructor)
         These changes are limited, and it will not impact you too much.
         If you happen to encounter one, you can use a custom control

    2 - you want to use a control which is not existing in 2.8.12 (example: wxBitmapToggleButton)
         The solution is to use a custom control as well
